On the similarities and the differences found in the monastic covenants and the social laws,and that of in the morality

戒律是佛教文化的重要组成部分,主旨为止恶扬善、修习善行、完善人格。文章以佛教戒律与婆罗门教为基础的印度六大部派所认同戒律的异同为切入点,溯源佛教戒律体系的形成历史与实践价值,比较研究佛教戒律与法律、道德修养之间善行功能方面的共性问题。认为,相较与法律、道德修养,佛教戒律的形成始终与其持守“业力”的因果观念息息相关,具有的行为规范功能,对法律的建设、道德的养成具有极大的借鉴意义。文章重点提出在不同文化背景和社会制度下形成的戒律、法律与道德修养三种行为规范体系,对人类社会的止恶行善方面具有相同的功能和作用。因此,在社会主义核心价值观的引导下,对应当发扬佛教戒律的社会作用。
